The DDO game worlds will be unavailable from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM Eastern (-4 GMT) on Saturday, October 1st for a hotfix. This will correct an issue with quest Ransack.

Wow even they realised how much they fucked up and planned a hotfix for a saturday. On the upside if they break something beneficial for the players it'll be up for atleast one and a half days  Cheesy

Same, I really didn't expect them to fix it during the weekend. Also I noticed they turned on 20% bonus xp for now to lessen the xp penalty before the hotfix.

Sometimes they do the necessary PR stuff. Sometimes they just ... don't. I think they're trying to train us with intermittent reinforcement.

If I may quote fanbois from the mobo (in cases like this):

"Yea, right you did not have time in THIS 6 month..."

"If you do not play for six months the blame is on you for not being dedicated enough to a game that is good thanks to its hard working devs..."

"Surely you can afford the time and the money to support this awesome game...especially after the awesome cannith crafting update!!!"

"Deal with it, turbine cannot adapt its time schedule to you..."

"Find another game then! I am sick of these vicious attacks on the poor devs who have a normal life like us!!!"

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

And someone in another thread called ME delusional recently!

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

What I found annoying about DDO is that every hotfix and patch seems to require re-downloading all 8-10Gb of data files or has that changed in recent times?  You're better of waiting a week or so and missing the first few patches and hotfixes.

Used to flabbergast me that they can't update just the data files affected - like most other games - but they're Turdbine and special snowflakes ofc.

At this point I would be happy with a new installer so I could reinstall without having to re-download everything all over again.

Agreed, it's a PITA, but that would require someone competent on Turdbine's side, so it ain't gonna happen.

I used to run DDO on 4 machines to multi-box, and I quickly learned to update only once and copy it to the other machines or watch my data allowance disappear after an update. 
When I last played, I just ran the game off USB3 drives and it was so much easier.

yesterday's IRC :

Quote:
[19:23] <Cordovan> Hey peeps, I'm looking for some no-nonsense info on this Ransack bug. So far we have not been able to reproduce a scenario in which completing an optional objective lowers the base XP received from the quest. Can someone provide consistent repro?


Just as I got hit by it in Tempest Spine ( EE ).

Then hit again by it in Shroudie... as expected. So got plenty of screenshot to add to the bug report I wrote while running through Shroud :

Quote:
[21:15] <Flavilandile> anyway, I'll make a full 'screenshot record' of next raid ( Shroud ) so that you have XP in the journal at entrance after each part and at the end
[21:49] <Cordovan> Monday's too late, any work to correct this issue is being done tonight.
[22:40] <Flavilandile> well you have the bug report now Smiley
[22:44] <Cordovan> great thanks. we're working on something for tomorrow, either fixing it or backing out the change if that works. Will know more late tonight early tomorrow


looks like I made them work late.  Roll Eyes

As for patches, use the PyLOTRO patcher, you see exactly what is downloaded, and that's definitely not all the files...
( now maybe the official launcher do download all the files all over again... but I don't trust Akamai netsession, even to download sftware from our repository at $ORK [ they moved the internal repository to Akamai... because Could... except that DL speeds are crappy and we get to install our own version of akamai_netsession... ( if we are not careful ) )

I just thought it was Turdbine's shitty version control, so they re-download every file "just to be safe".

If the PyLOTRO one doesn't do that, then I guess it is the Turdbine Launcher that is doing it then?

Nice to know thanks Flav for those folks with limited data allowances.

Data patching complete.
All patching complete.

*** Finished ***


Less than 1 minute patching.
Beside a new version of the crappy launcher and a new game client, lots of map file ( each one correspond to a single String Table from Mr Brown Thread ), 1 Gamelogic and one General file.

What do you think is in the client map files that would relate to the optional XP code?

it shouldn't, for me it's in the gamelogic file, or maybe in the general ( but I have doubts for the general, for me it's a gamelogic. )

The client map is just the map ( 1 for Eberron 2 for Faerun ).
They might have noticed stuck points and/or safe spots in Slavers that they wanted to fix/remove.

Now since it looks like it's the same package as the one they delivered with Patch 1 they might have just recompiled the whole patch with the fix and be done with it. Recompiling will change the timestamp on the Records, which will force the iterationsnumber to be increased, thus making the updater update the files. ( even if there's no need for it, it wouldn't be the first time they did it )

Knowing exactly what's in the file would involve catching them on the fly, and copying them before they get processed. and then comparing them from the previous one. ( the iteration number is incremental, that's how the patcher knows it needs to patch a specific dat file or not )

yesterday's IRC :



Just as I got hit by it in Tempest Spine ( EE ).

Then hit again by it in Shroudie... as expected. So got plenty of screenshot to add to the bug report I wrote while running through Shroud :


looks like I made them work late.  Roll Eyes

As for patches, use the PyLOTRO patcher, you see exactly what is downloaded, and that's definitely not all the files...
( now maybe the official launcher do download all the files all over again... but I don't trust Akamai netsession, even to download sftware from our repository at $ORK [ they moved the internal repository to Akamai... because Could... except that DL speeds are crappy and we get to install our own version of akamai_netsession... ( if we are not careful ) )

nope crackhead... The most interesting bit is Cordovan looking for help in all the channels because they couldn't reproduce it.

Personally I had my minute ( well day ) of importance when I was 11 year old, since then, I'm what you'd call blasé...
( ended up in the front page of the regional newspaper shacking hand with the then current Frog President. )

I'm convinced I wasn't the only one to give the relevant information, and I'm not fully convinced what I gave was relevant...

If I may quote fanbois from the mobo (in cases like this):

"Yea, right you did not have time in THIS 6 month..."

"If you do not play for six months the blame is on you for not being dedicated enough to a game that is good thanks to its hard working devs..."

"Surely you can afford the time and the money to support this awesome game...especially after the awesome cannith crafting update!!!"

"Deal with it, turbine cannot adapt its time schedule to you..." Uska

"Find another game then! I am sick of these vicious attacks on the poor devs who have a normal life like us!!!"Fran

I'm hoping they just roll back the changes so we can have non-deprecating optionals back in action.

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.
